Hi all.
For my job, i have encountered some guys from Microsoft (i was obliged :)
) for a demonstration of their video codec VC9 (they try "normalize" it
via the SMPTE forum). During this demo, they showed us their 'Media
Center' product which looks like Freevo/MythTV mainly, but with some
interesting additionnal features :
 - automatic picture slideshows : when you enter a folder with images, a
slideshow begins automatically
 - nice transitions during slideshows : during this slideshow, the
transition between picture is quite nice (fade, ...)
 - internal small zoom inside a picture : in order to add some 'movements'
to photos, the photos are slowly zoomed (in a factor 1.2/1.5).
 - When playing SVCD/DVD/AVI/..., if the 'Mute' button is pressed, then
the subtitles are displayed (and the sound goes off, of course)
 - When going back to the main menu, the current display is shown in a
very small window closed to the main menu. So you can switch back to the
video/audio/picture/TV nicely (like the audio.detach plugin, but for all
the
items : video, picture, TV, games).

For the "picture" features, it seems that 'feh' can do the job, but i get
a seg fault when i try to run it. Photo-desktop
(http://www.ugcs.caltech.edu/~dbenson/photo-desktop/) is a tool for smooth
zooming and translations effects, but there is only a few set of
parameters.
For the rest ???

Any feedback on that ?

Sylvain.
